The Stay of the Chief of State Józef PiłSudski in Kalisz on 15 May 1921 in the Light of Texts Published by the 'Gazeta Kaliska' Newspaper – Source Materials

Summary/Abstract: This article presents compiled source materials concerning the visit of the Chief of State Józef Piłsudski to Kalisz on 15 May 1921. These are announcements and press reports from the ‘Gazeta Kaliska’ newspaper. They constitute a valuable historical source as they describe in detail the course of the Marshal’s visit and the people involved in organising and conducting the ceremony. The main reason for Piłsudski’s arrival was the presentation of a banner to the 29th Kaniowski Rifle Regiment and the decoration of soldiers. The Chief of State also met with Kalisz authorities and local social activists, including representatives of economic life in the town and its surroundings. The study provides biographical details of specific, more or less forgotten figures. Archival material was used to prepare some of the biographical notes in the footnotes.
